Roularta Media Group ready for further multimedia expansion

I

In 2005 Roularta Media Group realized a net profit of EUR 22.2 million, as against EUR 27.2 million in 2004. The net profit of the Printed Media division grew by 3.8%, but the group profit continued to be influenced by lower sales in the Audiovisual Media division. It should be borne in mind here that the TV advertising market was particularly strong in 2004. Compared with last year, turnover fell by EUR 5.9 million or 1.2%.Turnover rose in the Printed Media division (1.3% organic growth), but fell in the Audiovisual division in both TV advertising and optical disk sales.

‘

n 2005 Roularta Media Group invested considerable time and energy in preparing its further expansion in Printed Media outside Belgium (mainly in France), the extension of its internet services and new TV initiatives (with Z:News).

lion of this increase is from new acquisitions like Studio Magazine, DMB-BALM, Press News, Automatch, 50+ Beurs & Festival and A Nous Paris (fourth quarter) and the launch of new City Magazines in France and Slovenia. On the other hand turnover was reduced by the sale of Total Music (- EUR 3.8 million). Organic growth from existing products was 1.3% or EUR 4.2 million. Freesheet turnover rose by 2.6% compared with last year. Sales revenue from De Zondag and the Belgian Steps City Magazines continues to grow and the new Steps City Magazines in France and Slovenia are boosting turnover. A Nous Paris is included in full in the consolidated figures from the fourth quarter of 2005. Advertising revenue at the Krant van West-Vlaanderen grew by 4.4% compared with 2004.

EBITDA decreased from EUR 64.9 to EUR 56.0 million and operating profit (EBIT) from EUR 46.3 to 38.6 million. The EBITDA margin narrowed from 13.0% to 11.4% and the EBIT margin from 9.3% to 7.8%. This tightening of EBITDA and EBIT margins is situated entirely in the Audiovisual Media division, and is concentrated in the first half of the year.

Magazine advertising income is up 6.9%, 5.2% from growth of existing titles, despite the difficult advertising market, and 1.7% from acquisitions.

In 2005, net current profit fell by 22.2% to EUR 22.3 million. Net current cash flow dropped by 13.8% from EUR 46.0 to 39.7 million.

Operating profit (EBIT) rose by EUR 1.7 million from EUR 28.7 to 30.4 million (+ 6.2%), taking the EBIT margin from 8.6% to 9.0%. EBITDA increased by 4.2% or EUR 1.7 million from EUR 40.0 million to 41.7 million.The EBITDA margin rose from 12.1% to 12.3%. Net profit was EUR 17.1 million compared with EUR 16.4 million in 2004 (+ 3.8%).

Profit per share was down from EUR 2.83 in 2004 to EUR 2.29 in 2005. The financing of the take-over of Point de Vue in December 2005 took net financial debt from EUR 12.2 million at the end of December 2004 to EUR 40.0 million at the end of 2005, raising the gearing from 5.7% to 17.5%. The earnings of Point de Vue will be included in group earnings from 2006 onwards.

The readers’ market advanced by 3%, mainly through the acquisition of new titles since July 2004.

The Printed Media division continues to do well, despite the still weak advertising market and the start-up costs of the Steps City Magazines in France and Slovenia.

AUDIOVISUAL MEDIA DIVISION PRINTED MEDIA DIVISION Turnover in the Printed Media division rose in 2005 by EUR 7.7 million from EUR 331.7 to 339.4 million (+ 2.3%). EUR 7.4 mil-

Turnover of the Audiovisual Media division was down 7.5% at EUR 161.2 million from the 174.3 million posted in what was a strong 2004. Turnover and market share at radio station Q-Music continue to grow, but TV advertising spending and optical disk sales fell.

Operating profit (EBIT) declined from EUR 17.7 million to 8.1 million, taking the EBIT margin to 5.0% as against 10.1% in 2004.EBITDA was down to EUR 14.4 million from 24.9 million.Net profit fell from EUR 10.8 to 5.1 million. The lower operating profit reflects lower turnover (advertising market and optical disk sales) and rising production and operating costs at the TV stations. Continuing efforts at Vlaamse Media Maatschappij (VMMa) to improve programming quality have pushed up production costs significantly compared with 2004. Viewer figures are, however, better and the market share of the VMMa stations is evolving favourably. With its market share continuing to grow and the commercial cooperation with 4FM, Q-Music produced considerably better results in 2005 than expected.

The new acquisitions at home and abroad and the launch of Z:News will provide further multimedia growth. n February 2006 Roularta Media Group increased its capital by EUR 50 million via a private placement with institutional investors.

I

This has reduced the gearing to 14.4%. It is the intention to both increase the free float and to use debt financing on the occasion of a major operation. The takeover of the French weekly magazine Point de Vue and the 35% shareholding in Groupe Express-Expansion have been 50% financed by the capital increase.

Roularta expects robust growth for its printed media in 2006.

‘

Favourable outlook for 2006 For Kanaal Z/Canal Z a significant new project is in preparation: Z:News (N/F) will become a general news broadcaster aiming at a wider audience. The station is moving to the Brussels Media Centre where all RMG editorial staffs are based. The idea is to permit total synergy between the broadcasting stations and the editorial staffs of the group’s news and other magazines. In this way the news can be permanently enriched by specialist contributions from the various editorial teams. At the same time the magazines will receive additional TV exposure. Z:News will bring non-stop domestic and foreign news via TV cable and via internet (TV or PC): all the news from A to Z. Vlaamse Media Maatschappij is facing a fall in advertising income.A cost-saving and restructuring plan has been worked out. We have to wait and see whether the good audience figures will produce an improvement in advertising turnover during the year. KANAALTWEE can count on Big Brother and the football world championship in spring and on the Champions League Football in the autumn to boost its score. The largest broadcaster, however, is VTM. Here a root and branch savings plan is ensuring a healthy future.

RMG foresees robust growth in printed media in 2006, coming both from the new acquisitions (with Point de Vue in the lead) and from organic growth, which is expected to be stronger than in 2005 for both freesheets and magazines.

At the same time, in 2006 VMMa has a new and significant source of income in the form of broadcasting right payments from the cable companies and Belgacom.

The 35% stake in Groupe Express-Expansion will be accounted for by the equity method and will therefore not be included in turnover.

Work continues gradually in Belgium on extending digital TV. This can provide new revenues in the future, among other things from content on demand.

In the audiovisual branch, prospects for the optical disk business (VTV) are better after a less good 2005.

Advertising revenue from internet activities is growing. Knack.be, Trends.be, etc. are being further extended as portal sites for the full RMG offering. easy.be, Belgium’s largest classified ads site (property, cars, jobs, etc.), operated in cooperation with vlan.be (owned by the Rossel publishing company), also continues to grow.

Spectacular growth is again expected for radio (Q-Music). The regional TV activities continue to perform well.

Magazines Roularta’s founder Willy De Nolf and later his son Rik De Nolf had a dream: to create a Newsweek, a Business Week and a Sports Illustrated for Belgium. Knack, Trends and Sport Voetbal Magazine in Dutch and Le Vif/L’Express, Trends/ Tendances and Sport Foot Magazine in French were launched in quick succession in the 1970s. Led by the charismatic Frans Verleyen, who left us too early in 1997, the magazine gradually gained an authoritative voice and achieved a very wide distribution. Today Knack is more than a newsmagazine. It is a weekly information package in several parts, each a magazine in its own right.

NEWSMAGAZINES THE GENERAL NEWS MAGAZINES KNACK The Knack package offers a triptych of information, with Knack standing for ‘news’, Weekend Knack for ‘lifestyle’ and Focus Knack for ‘entertainment’. Or news seen from three different angles.

Weekend Knack is Belgium’s tonesetting lifestyle magazine for fashion, interior decoration, travel, gastronomy and the like.

KNACK

Focus Knack is a complete entertainment magazine with TV programme schedules and news from the world of art, films, music, theatre, etc.

nack is the news magazine of Dutch-speaking Belgium. It was created 35 years ago, originally to provide a Belgian counterpart to international news magazines like Time and Newsweek, Der Spiegel, L’Express, Elsevier… for which there was then no Belgian equivalent. Nor was there anything similar to Business Week or Sports Illustrated in those days.

Subscribers also receive MO*; a monthly magazine with a global vision and a special focus on developing countries.

Knack is also the driving force behind a wide range of add-on products like books, magabooks (travel, cookery recipes), CDs, DVDs, etc. at special reader prices. With a paid distribution of no less than 121,719 copies (106,040 subscriptions and the remainder as newsstand sales), Knack reaches 680,200 readers (CIM), or almost 15% of the population aged 14+. By way of comparison: all news magazines in France together (L’Express, Le Point, Nouvel Observateur, Marianne, …) score around 10%.

The weekly lifestyle magazine Weekend Knack has played a key role in Knack’s development.

THE PACKAGE KNACK, WEEKEND KNACK AND FOCUS KNACK News seen from three different angles.

Weekend Knack focuses on the good things of life: stylish living, travel, eating and drinking, beauty and fitness. Weekend Knack has more women readers than men (52%-48%). Its wellsituated, high income readership makes it the clear leader for lifestyle advertising, and indeed the advertising income of this former 'supplement' now outruns that of the newsmagazine proper. Weekend Knack has also been instrumental in ensuring that the newsmagazine is read as much by women as by men. Every year Weekend Knack publishes six special fashion editions and four ‘cocooning’ editions, each of them a 200-300 page authoritative guide to the latest taste and fashion. On top of these come a recipe magabook four times a year, an additional edition with city tours etc. These luxury publications are sold separately and offered to Knack readers at special prices. All these are new initiatives aimed at new growth segments.

LE VIF/L’EXPRESS Le Vif/L’Express, the weekly newsmagazine for Belgium’s French-speaking market, is – in conjunction with Weekend Le Vif/L’Express and Télévif – a total newsmagazine, shedding light on every facet of Belgian and international news.

Le Vif/L’Express’s content is totally different from that of Knack, even though the two editorial teams work closely together at the Brussels Media Centre, where they and the other Roularta Group editorial teams enjoy access to interlinked informatics, research and documentation networks.

LE VIF/L’EXPRESS

WEEKEND LE VIF/L’EXPRESS

e Vif/L’Express is the French-language counterpart to Knack. Created in 1983, Le Vif has for almost 20 years been published in cooperation with the French L'Express group in a partnership that combines top-notch international reporting with the professional journalism of a separate Belgian editorial team.

An agreement concluded in 1986 with L’Express back in the days of French/British Sir Jimmy Goldsmith launched Weekend Le Vif/L’Express as a weekly lifestyle supplement. Like Weekend Knack in Flanders, Weekend Le Vif/L’Express has since then become a fully-grown magazine that sets the tone for fashion and design. Complementing the newsmagazine it also provides Le Vif/L'Express with the same balance of male and female readers in Frenchspeaking Belgium as Knack in Flanders.

L

With a circulation of 81,008 and 472,600 CIL readers, Le Vif/L’Express has the same penetration as Knack in Flanders.

After 31 years on the newsstands, the 41,081 copies of the business news magazine Trends find their way to over 215,900 readers, almost twice the reach of FEM Business in the Netherlands.This is possibly due to the very varied editorial approach, which is concerned with macro economic problems but even more with business activity in our own country, though always in its international context.Hot on the heels of the latest, exciting news from every sector, Trends portrays the people behind the figures, with real-life stories offering role models for businessmen and drawing graphic lessons from successes and failures.

CASH (D/F) Trends would be incomplete without Cash. Published since February 2004 in magazine format, this is a fully-fledged magazine for investors, focused primarily on equities, but also on every other conceivable form of investment. Attention is also paid to various topics from the broader area of personal finance. Cash has its own editorial team, which doubles as a vital central information unit for the group’s other magazines. The ‘financial’ unit also produces a biweekly ‘Inside Investor’ newsletter in Dutch and French, as well as regularly publishing books, organising seminars and providing ‘money files’ to the other magazines in the group. The Cash and Inside Investor financial team also provides the stock market commentaries for the general news TV channel Z:News.

Our sports news magazines Sport Voetbal Magazine (Dutch-language) and Sport Foot Magazine (French-language) are already more than 25 years old, demonstrating that sports news magazines are just as important as general and business news magazines. Sport Magazine today reaches a younger and particularly interesting audience. Every reader survey points to the extraordinary phenomenon that this magazine is regularly devoured from cover to cover by its readers. Sports news is clearly particularly gripping reading for sports fans. Sport Voetbal/Foot Magazine, with its superb full-colour reports, is produced by a mixed Dutch/French-speaking journalist team, with Dutch and French-speaking editors-in-chief ensuring the right accent for each language version. Alongside football (75%), the magazine also reports on major events in every sport. Weekly digest headings on basketball, volleyball, tennis, cycling and motor racing, along with the global sports overview make sure that readers have a grandstand view, whatever their favourite sport.

Lenz in Germany has now reached a respectable circulation level of 284,109 copies following the merger with Frau im Leben.

“Hier stonden al heel wat grote namen, zowel uit de muziek als uit de sport. De finale Roeselare-Maaseik belooft spannend te worden. Maaseik begon minder sterk aan de competitie maar de jonge ploeg versloeg Lennik en kan dus zeker met Roeselare wedijveren. Ik wil de mensen ook warm maken voor de damesfinale want ook daar zal een staaltje topvolley getoond worden.” (VV/foto SB)

Herrie over geknotte eiken “De wijze waarop de stad met het bomenbestand omspringt, is onverantwoord”, stelt Jef Vissers van de Bilzense milieuadviesraad Alebi. Volgens Alebi zou schepen Poesen op vraag van enkele gezinnen uit de Herkebamstraat een tiental 100jarige eiken hebben laten ‘kandelaren’. Een snoeimethode die in natuurmiddens niet wordt geapprecieerd. “Het toppen of kandelaren wordt meestal uit onwetendheid of gemak gedaan, niet in het belang van de boom. De bomen verliezen hun natuurlijke vorm en worden lelijk; de takken kunnen afsterven. Blijkbaar hadden een aantal bewoners last van vallende bladeren. Omdat ze via officiële weg bot vingen, hebben ze via politiek dienstbetoon hun slag thuisgehaald. Vreemd, want de schepen wist dat de milieuadviesraad een negatief advies voor deze opdracht had gegeven”, aldus Vissers. Ook bij de gemeentelijke milieudienst zijn ze niet te spreken over

Op Paaszondag 16 april spelen Knack Randstad Roeselare en Noliko Maaseik de bekerfinale volleybal in de sporthal Schiervelde. Knack Randstad staat eveneens in voor de organisatie van dit volleyspektakel. “De gekwalificeerde ploegen voor de bekerfinales volleybal, Kieldrecht en Charleroi bij de dames en Roeselare en Maaseik bij de heren staan borg voor een adembenemend volleybalspektakel”, aldus voorzitter Philip Berben van het Koninklijk Belgisch Volleybalverbond. “De Roeselaarse organisatoren hebben puik voorbereidend werk afgeleverd in een sportcentrum dat zich terecht één van de mooiste sporttempels van het land mag noemen.” Roeselare speelt inderdaad niet alleen de bekerfinale, de ploeg staat samen met de NV Caspo ook in voor de organisatie. “We hebben ondertussen heel wat ervaring inzake het organiseren van grote events op Schiervelde”, zegt Eddy Brouckaert van Caspo.

Als je in de voorbij weken soms iemand tegenkwam die vreemde gezichten trok terwijl zijn of haar handen in het luchtledige bewogen, dan kun je er zeker van zijn dat je hem of haar op de festifuif van Rock Henis tegenkomt als deelnemer aan het Eerste Tongers Kampioenschap Luchtgitaar spelen. Vergis je niet, luchtgitaar spelen is jaren geleden buiten de beslotenheid van de slaap- en of huiskamer geraakt. De ambitieuze luchtgitarist hoeft niet langer verstoken te blijven van publiek ! Luchtgitaar spelen is overigens een serieuze aangelegenheid en niet zo makkelijk als je denkt. Het vraagt fantasie, durf, gevoel voor timing en het vermogen om het aanwezige publiek te kunnen boeien. Er worden inmiddels Belgische Kampioenschappen gehouden en uiteraard ook een WK. Het is dus een goede zet van het Rock Henis team om luchtgitaartalenten uit Tongeren en omstreken de kans te bieden zich te presenteren aan een breed en ongetwijfeld laaiend enthousiast publiek.

De Zuidstraat die momenteel helemaal wordt heraangelegd, krijgt de primeur van de nieuwe pendelarmaturen. In een volgende fase kan bijvoorbeeld de kapel van het Klein Seminarie extra verlichting krijgen. Bij de herinrichting van de pleinen in Roeselare zal gezocht worden naar armaturen die ook overdag de nodige accenten weten aan te brengen. Het is dus noodzakelijk om krachtige en vormelijke armaturen te gebruiken. Op die manier trekt men de aandacht weg van een niet-homogene gevelpartij en wordt de pleinvorm geaccentueerd. Verlichting krijgt zo dus de functie van stadsmeubilair.”

Aan de hand van de ontwikkelde lichtvisie stellen we nu een aantal concrete acties voor. De centrumstraten zullen in de toekomst pendelarmaturen krijgen en er wordt accentverlichting voorzien. Dit betekent dat waar nodig en wenselijk spotlights zullen aangebracht worden op elementen die men in de kijker wil zetten. Waarom wordt er gekozen voor pendelarmaturen ? In de eerste plaats zijn ze ‘infrastructuurloos’. Bij een eventuele vervanging dient de straat niet opengebroken te worden. Het verdwijnen van lantaarn-

“Het uitgangspunt voor het opmaken van een lichtvisie voor de stad Roeselare was de idee dat licht als structuurondersteunend element moest beschouwd worden”, legt burgemeester Martens uit. “Dit betekent heel concreet dat licht de stedelijke infrastructuur moet zichtbaar maken. We beschouwen licht dus niet in de eerste plaats als sfeerscheppend element of als spielerei, maar als een verduidelijking van de bestaande patronen in de stad. Licht heeft dus een ordenende of structurerende functie binnen de stad. Om tot een concrete lichtvisie voor Roeselare te komen, werd een werkgroep samengesteld. Een drietal literatoren leverden een visionair beeld vanuit hun eigen ervaring en eigen lichtgevoel, een fotograaf bracht vanuit zijn eigen invalshoek het licht in beeld en alle ideeën rond licht werden afgetoetst. De werkgroep concludeerde dat licht in Roeselare niet als coherent wordt ervaren. Een totaalbeeld

Deze week in Roeselare

Roeselare wil lichtstad worden Roeselare wil zich in de toekomst meer als lichtstad profileren. De aanwezigheid in de stad van grote bedrijven inzake verlichting speelt daarin mee, maar er is meer. In de centrumstraten en op de pleinen zal licht een prominente plaats krijgen. De primeur is voor de Zuidstraat.

▲

The Streekkrant consists of regular sections of commercial information and regional news. A network of professional local editors is responsible for regional news, supplemented with useful information like doctors on call, forthcoming events and the next week’s films, and with

In addition to Roularta’s own titles TamTam Blankenberge, Brugge, Gent, Knokke, Wetthra (Wetteren), De Wegwijzer (Aalter) and Het Fonteintje (Deinze/Gavere), the Tam-Tam group includes the freesheets published by the Verheyen group (Antwerpen) and Publitor (Torhout). The basic concept is to offer local Tam-Tam titles in the Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent regions, where De Streekkrant circulation levels are far too high for local advertisers. In this way the Roularta Media advertising sales office now represents a second network of local neighbourhood freesheets in addition to the De Streekkrant/De Weekkrant group.

.

The first weekly newspapers of the De Streekkrant/De Weekkrant group were produced 50 years ago. Nowadays De Streekkrant/De Weekkrant is a national medium with 46 separate weekly editions providing local reporting for each region, and with each edition the market leader in its own local area. De Streekkrant/De Weekkrant is regularly read and consulted, primarily for its consumer information and advertising.

With Tam-Tam, Roularta is looking to offer a new network of very local tabloid freesheets that can complement the De Streekkrant broadsheets. Tam-Tam is highly interesting for very local advertisers and can also help to support largerscale campaigns.

De Streekkrant/De Weekkrant’s pricing structure consists of a rate per edition and a price per issue. The more editions the advertiser chooses, the more attractive the individual price for any particular one. Standard formats (1/4, 1/2 and 1/1 page) are offered at even more attractive rates. The Top Consult pricing centre can also calculate very precisely the cost per sales outlet of a joint order.This highly rational approach means that the advertiser pays the most competitive price possible per contact.

DB41/515990A6

ith approximately 2,800,000 free copies distributed door-todoor, De Streekkrant/De Weekkrant is the country’s largest newspaper. Investment in recent years has concentrated on improving print quality and expanding the journalistic content. Regional freesheets appear to be growing despite today’s difficult economic environment.

Key sectors like building, living and the local property market can be found in De Streekkrant separately for each region (usually exclusively). All sections are neatly arranged so that readers can easily find what they want. Close links with local populations and its pronounced shopping guide role make De Streekkrant an ideal medium for mounting promotional campaigns, with sales outlet addresses adapted to each region.

Big Brother in Knokke-Heist

Europa bedolven onder de kipfilets BRUSSEL - Europa kampt met een enorm overschot aan kippenfilets. En dat heeft alles te maken met de schrik van de consument om besmet te geraken met vogelgriep. De Europese Commissie heeft de exportsubsidie op kippenvlees verder verhoogd. Exporteurs krijgen nu een dubbel zo hoog bedrag als in januari. Met die drastische maatregel wil Brussel het enorme overschot aan kipfilets in Europa wegwerken. De voorraden kipfilets zijn torenhoog geworden omdat vooral Zuid-Europese consumenten geen kippenvlees meer kopen. Ze vrezen besmet te raken met vogelgriep. In sommige landen is de verkoop met de helft gekelderd, ondanks geruststellende woorden van weten-

schappers dat er nauwelijks risico is. De exportsubsidie op hele kippen is voor de derde maal dit jaar verhoogd: ditmaal met 8 euro naar een bedrag van 48 euro per honderd kilo. De exportmaatregel kost de EU-lidstaten tientallen miljoenen euroÕs.De Commissie wil de gedupeerde kippensector ook op andere manieren helpen. Ze wil de helft meebetalen aan nationale hulpplannen, om bijvoorbeeld met overheidsgeld broedeieren te vernietigen. De ministers van Landbouw van de EU-lidstaten beslissen daarover op 25 april.

Stoken in open haard is duur BRUSSEL - De hoge olieprijzen en de harde win-

In this way, Sunday’s festive breakfast for Flanders’ wide-awake citizens includes the Sunday newspaper with masses of local news, a list of Sunday events, local classified ads and commercial information, and more and more national-level advertising given De Zondag’s regionwide coverage. Next to De Streekkrant, De Zondag is by far the largest newspaper in Belgium, reaching readers who are fresh and attentive to interesting ideas at a

ter hebben de vraag naar brandhout voor kachels en open haarden aangewakkerd. De vraag blijkt groter dan het aanbod en de prijzen zijn dan ook fors gestegen. De verkopers waren niet voorbereid op de piek en de stocks waren al in de herfst uitverkocht. Op dit moment kost een stère (0,7 kubieke meter) hout tussen tien en twintig euro. Een stère gezaagd en aan huis geleverd hout kost tussen 35 en 75 euro.

Knokke-Heist als één groot speeldorp van Big Brother. Overal in de stad duiken onbemande camera’s op. En volgens burgervader Lippens wordt er dankzij verbluffende technologie ook rekening gehouden met de privacy van de burger. "Brave mensen hoeven niet bang te zijn om gefilmd te worden. Het zijn de boeven die moeten bang zijn om gefilmd te worden", zegt de burgemeester laconiek. Zie binnenin. (maf/Foto jds)

De Paashaas kwam de fietspaden testen

De Paashaas vertrok met een volle mand paaseieren op de fiets. De helft van de eieren brak bij de fietstocht. "De grote kasseien in de binnenstad zijn een ramp voor de fietsers," meent Geert Demeyere van de Fietserbond. "Soms zijn de gleuven tussen de kasseien zo groot dat je er met de fietsband komt in vast te zitten. Wij pleiten alvast voor de aanleg van stroken zoals de fietssuggestiestroken in de Boeveriestraat. Vooral de kasseien in de Oostmeers, Zonnekemeers, Westmeers, Guido Gezelleplein, Rozenhoedkaai Zilverstraat, Moerstraat, Naaldenstraat, Spiegelrei, Oliebaan, Snaggaardstraat, Rolweg, Stijn Streuvelstraat, Balstraat, Rodestraat, Kazernevest, Bilkske, Balsemboomstraat, Witte en Zwarte Leertouwerstraat zorgen voor last," aldus Demeyere.

Steps offers a varied dose of fashion, lifestyle and reporting. In 2005 the magazine underwent a thorough facelift. Steps is unique in its kind, printed in large magazine format and heatset colour quality on satinated paper. Steps takes full advantage of the extraordinary possibilities of Roularta’s high volume presses, which allow up to 64 large (double) magazine format pages (like Steps) to be heatset printed in a single run and stapled on the press, ready for rapid finishing and cutting.All this guarantees top quality at unbeatable advertising prices. Steps City Magazine is published fortnightly in the major Belgian cities of Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges and Leuven, and elsewhere once a month. Under a recent agreement with RMG, the Rossel group now exploits the Steps formula in French-speaking Belgium: fortnightly in Brussels and monthly in Wallonia.

STYLE Style Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, published in cooperation with the Zeeuwsch-Vlaams Advertentieblad and distributed in the southernmost province of the Netherlands, along the border with Belgium, offers advertising opportunities to both Dutch advertisers and to Belgian clients from West and East Flanders. The Style editions in the Dutch province of Brabant, which were transferred to Wegener in December 2005, permit combinations with the Steps editions from the Belgian provinces of Antwerp and Limburg.

Alongside the existing A Nous Lille and A Nous Lyon, two new titles, A Nous Marseille and A Nous Côte d’Azur, were launched in February 2006. Starting in 2006, the ‘A Nous…’ titles outside Paris are being expanded through a joint venture with the Spir Communication group, a leading French freesheet publisher, which since June 2005 has handled personal ad sales for A Nous Paris.

CITYMAGAZINE IN SLOVENIA In Slovenia, City Magazine is now published in cooperation with the GV group (30%).

A NOUS In France the ‘A Nous...’ group is being further expanded. In December 2005 Roularta Media Group increased its stake in A Nous Paris to 99% (1% remains with Metrobus).

Television THE FAMILY STATION

selves in a 50/50 partnership. Since then the Vlaamse Media Maatschappij, which today manages VTM, KANAALTWEE, JIMtv and the new Q-Music radio station,has been steadily broadening its palette of services.

THE ENTERTAINMENT STATION

VTM TM opts resolutely for Flemish programming and quality newscasts, with a successful mix of old favourites and new programmes.

V

VTM came into being in 1988 as Dutchspeaking Belgium’s first commercial TV station.This initiative was born of a political agreement giving the country’s press companies an opportunity to participate in this new phenomenon, which was threatening to shift advertising income massively away from printed media. Initially nine enterprises took part, with Roularta having around 11%. Over the years most of the press companies sold their holdings, until in 1998 De Persgroep and Roularta found them-

As a family station, VTM seeks to attract a broad-based audience with a varied programme of mostly local Flemish productions. VTM provides the news reporting, analysis programmes, talkshows, etc. Entertainment, fiction programmes, soaps, etc. are mostly bought from Belgian and foreign production houses. In September 2005, however, VTM took over Studio’s Amusement, the production house that currently produces the popular VTM series ‘Familie’, ‘Spoed’ and ‘Zone Stad’. VTM is constantly investing in innovation to defend and extend its market share of around 30% against the two state channels.

VTM

KANAALTWEE

Established in Vilvoorde.

The leisure station.

KANAALTWEE ith a powerful offering of entertainment, sport and music, films and top American series, KANAALTWEE has successfully profiled itself as the leisure station.

W

KANAALTWEE pampers an audience of young, dynamic cinema fans with the best American films and series. And not only on TV… KANAALTWEE is the station for trendy, self-conscious and active viewers. Television which is not limited to the TV screen, but includes online and off-screen activities, and is immersed in youth culture and present wherever young people are.

Z:News: All the news from A to Z. of the day.This makes Z:News an excellent medium, not just for financial-economic reporting and B2B campaigns,but also for advertising quality lifestyle products.

JIM TV The young people’s station.

THE YOUNG PEOPLE’S STATION

NEWS BROADCASTING Z:NEWS

JIMTV fter four years on the air JIMtv is the largest young people’s music station in Flanders.

A

JIMtv is the largest young people’s medium in Dutch-speaking Belgium. Over 10 percent of all 13-30 year-olds regularly tune in to this ‘More Than Music’ station, and over 50 percent at least once a month.

ith almost 315,000 viewers tuning in daily and 815,600 at least once a week Z:News is a dedicated news station, reaching a wide audience with a varied programme of business and general news that can be viewed at any time

W

JIMtv systematically covers a range of youth interests: computer games, films, fashion, lifestyle, sport and of course music. Today’s young people are ‘samplers’ with wide-ranging spheres of interest, who make their choices based on their ‘state of mind’ of the moment. JIMtv seeks to respond to this profile with a wide selection of material. Interactive media are bringing new communities into being and are enabling young people to express their involvement better than ever before.Today’s young people are used to interactivity, which is incorporated into every programme through votings,website references,chats and SMS messages.JIMtv produces more than ten hours of live television every day to which young people can react directly.

58


Z:NEWS The Belgian news station.


The programme line-up includes national and international business news reporting, stock market reports and commentaries, plus a wide range of personal finance and practical information for small and medium entrepreneurs. The editorial team works in close synergy with journalists from Trends and Trends/Tendances, Knack and Le Vif/L’Express, Bizz and other group magazines. At the marketing and promotional level too, the goal is perfect interaction between print and audiovisual media.

THE REGIONAL STATIONS RMM (FOCUS TV, WTV, RADIO MANGO), RTVM oularta devised the system that makes regional television possible: local news broadcast in repeating loops to ensure maximum reach.

R

Roularta also owns 50% of RMM (Regionale Media Maatschappij), in partnership with the two not-for-profit organisations that hold the licences for the Focus TV and WTV stations. The two TV broadcasters are now housed together in a new location in Roeselare offering optimal synergies in terms of advertising sales and promotion and production facilities. Since the move, RMM has become a profitable operating company.

In the meantime Flanders’ regional stations are continuing to expand their viewing audiences. Gradually more and more local authorities, cities, municipalities and provinces are ready to use this unique communication channel and to invest in communication budgets. The West Flemish stations (Focus TV and WTV) produce a complete daily news programme with an average of over 15 different reports every day, a weekend lifestyle programme, a new weekend programme of provincial news and a growing number of additional sports and culture programmes. No Télé from Western Hainault, C9 from Lille and WTV from Southern Flanders produce jointly the culture programme P.u.l.s, the Transit programme on socioeconomic events, and the ‘border life’ project (inter-regional TV progammes).

RING TV In Brabant Roularta continues to manage advertising sales for Ring TV.

RTVM National advertising sales for the regional TV stations are managed by the RTVM advertising sales house, which is owned by three Flemish press companies, Roularta, De Persgroep and Concentra. National advertisers are increasingly attracted by the cumulative reach of regional TV, which is watched by 33% of the viewing public on a daily, and by 70% on a weekly basis. RMM The Regionale Media Maatschappij operates out of Roeselare, in the heart of the province of West Flanders.

Radio Q-MUSIC Q-MUSIC -Music is professional radio with good radio voices and nothing but good music for active adults. An initiative by VMM (50% RMG).

Q

To address the 18-44 target group by doing what other radio stations don’t was Q-Music's mission when it went on the air in November 2001 with the first commercial radio licence covering the whole of Flanders. Since then Q-Music has become solidly rooted with its own recognisable style, tasteful programming, original activities and an image listeners can readily identify with. At the start of 2006 Q-Music has a 16.1% market share, rising to 24.3% of the 18-44 age group. With the help of Deckers & Ornelis, Flander’s most creative morning duo, the idea is to arouse listeners’ curiosity so much during the morning peak that they feel the need to continue listening and even if necessary to fight to listen to their programme on the shopfloor.

Knack.be, levif.be and trends.be provide additional information and interactivity between journalists and readers. The magazine article presents the news and background information in tight, accessible narrative language, referring the reader to the site for further information about the topic in question. Readers whose curiosity has been whetted by the article can then turn to the site for links to other articles and archives, complete legislation, etc. The sites also permit dialogue with readers, with a forum inviting them to discuss articles and topical subjects. Reader surveys encourage involvement and provide valuable information, which can then be reflected in the magazine proper. Also grouped under the knack.be, levif.be and trends.be umbrella are the community sites. Het.beleggers.net is a well-visited and profitable site and a model for other initatives like het.gastronomen.net and het.reiswijzer.net directed at specific target groups. The editorial team developing these sites has access to RMG’s journalist network and can set up links to the group’s databases, archives, directories and guides. The editorial teams are experimenting with new forms of reader interactivity through surveys, debates and a forum for readers’ comments.

The selection of cars on Easy.be was further extended in April 2005 with the acquisition of the car magazine Automatch and its leading Belgian car website Automatch.be. This makes Easy.be a major site for new and second-hand cars, with a huge number of visitors. Easy.be’s third main speciality is job ads. De Streekkrant/De Weekkrant presents by far the largest selection of vacancies for a variety of jobs in Dutch-speaking Belgium.

Advertisers are guaranteed not only a maximum number of readers but also the largest possible number of internet visitors. The EasyJobs.be/VDAB combination reaches more visitors than any other jobsite. Visitors can access the full list of vacancies on either destreekkrant.be or Easy.be or the VDAB’s vdab.be site.
